First of all I would like to debunk all of the negative feedbacks this wonderful little weather station has received. It seems to me that the biggest complaint is on the barometer not working"right out of the box". I too had that assumption when I first began using it. It was reading 29.18 when my other units,(both analog and digital) were reading 29.91 or close to it and the weather service agreed with my other unit's readings. I went back and reread the instructions and found that the reading from the unit isn't the pressure reading we are all used to seeing. It is measured in ABSOLUTE not RELATIVE pressure. For those of you that don't know the difference,(I was one until I did some further research) here is the difference:
Absolute Pressure
Absolute barometric pressure is a comparison of how much pressure is exerted by the atmosphere compared to a vacuum, a space where there are no gases at all. The air pressure in a vacuum would be zero, since there are no gases to exert pressure on objects. Absolute barometric pressure is used primarily in scientific studies and industrial applications requiring precise data. Measurements known as "corrected barometric pressure" are used in most other applications, like weather reports.
Relative Pressure
Relative air pressure is known as corrected barometric pressure. It is a measurement of how much pressure an air column would exert at sea level. To determine corrected barometric pressure, an absolute air pressure measurement is taken, along with an altitude measurement. The relative air pressure of that column is the amount of air pressure it would exert at sea level, if it remained at a constant pressure all the way down. It is sometimes called relative pressure because it reports pressures relative to sea level.

Other than that, I find ABSOLUTELY,(pun intended) nothing wrong with this unit. The remote module works as advertised and all of the other readings are great as well. The only complaint I might have is with the silly icon of a dude with varying modes of attire. Completely unnecessary.

Nice display of relevant weather conditions. Works as advertised. Would buy again.
Product does what it is advertised to do. It has the information I need: battery only, indoor-outdoor temperature and humidity, time. Uses battery power only. AC is not required as with the color screen models. It can be wall mounted with some engineering, see photos of mounting to a mirror notice the notch and shortened end preformed with a sharp Xacto knife. Works in my situation. Mounted near a slamming door the mount might be non-secure Moon phase is inverted. White on the Moon is black on the screen. Tech support tells me that is the way the non-color screen work. Remember the humidity information is a monitor not expense weather station quality. It is good enough for how to dress today. Fisherman is a gimmick so buy another model if it is not your thing. The body does not change. Sleeves and pants legs come and go based on the outdoor temperature. 3M Command Strips: 17001-VP-6PK & 17067-MPES.
